Turn $1 into $10 for a struggling community

More grants, more capital, more lives improved

Grants are essential to CRF’s mission. They provide a foundation for building much larger capital, turning every grant dollar into 10. Here’s how.

Grant money helps create equity for CRF, which attracts market rate investors who lend large amounts of money at very favorable rates such as large banks, pension funds, life insurance companies, and mutual funds.

When you hear us say we help struggling neighborhoods and we do it big, it’s because we’ve figured out how to use your grant dollars to attract large sources of other capital. We multiply your dollar to multiply the lives we can improve.

Founded in 1988, Community Reinvestment Fund, USA (CRF) is a national non-profit organization with a mission to empower people to improve
